    Description

      Replication factor =1
      Step 1: Start NN,DN1.write 4 GB of data
      Step 2: Start DN2
      Step 3: issue the balancer command(./hdfs balancer -threshold 0)

      The threshold parameter is a fraction in the range of (0%, 100%) with a default value of 10%
      When the above scenario is executed the Source DN and Target DN is choosen and the number of bytes to be moved from source to target DN is also calculated .

      Then the balancer is exiting with the following message "No block can be moved. Exiting..." which is not expected.
